If I had the money, I would travel the world treasure hunting.
I'm saving for a good metal detector. We have huge, dried up riverbeds around here that I'm dying to search for arrow heads and artifacts around. I'd love to search beaches too. I could definitely get into this hobby!

Well,here is your chance to go after a real treasure chest full of gold....Folks assume it is in NM because that is where this man lives...but he only gives cryptic clues in his poem and now says it is above 5000 ft sea level.

I would look into it if my kids were older and I was a bit better at word puzzles.

It would be really fun to be able to look for it, whether or not one actually found it. However, treasure hunting, like pretty much everything, takes money or at least the ability to live without ones paycheck whilest looking for the treasure

I would imagine that in this case it would need to be a carefully planned family vacation...with the research/theories developed before you go. It could be fun for the right family...a nice change from Disney World.

I've heard this was a hoax (the man has a book he wrote out, and it gets brought up fairly regularly). I have no idea, though, because most of the people saying it's just a publicity stunt are the ones who live around Santa Fe in the mountains. Apparently there was some issue with people leaving messes and whatnot.

He was on the national news and the morning talk shows last week...so it seems more legit than a hoax...or if it is a hoax, he may have some major blowback as well as the networks that were promoting him.
That said, I can believe the Santa Fe folks would not be welcoming to national treasure hunters invading their wilderness. LOL
